DJ LeMahieu hit a double that was totally eaten by Wrigley Field's ivy

The Rockies got off to a quick start in the first inning of the National League Wild Card Game on Tuesday night. After Charlie Blackmon walked against Jon Lester, DJ LeMahieu blasted a line drive to the gap in left-center, where it went ... where, exactly?
Oh, it went right into the ivy on the outfield wall, enveloped by the shrubbery and never to be seen again.

At the moment, it kept Colorado from scoring a run, though Nolan Arenado drove in Blackmon with a sacrifice fly a few pitches later.
Wrigley Field wasted no time making its unique dimensions come into play ...
